Supercharger - Riverside, CA (LIVE 28 Dec 2017, 24 urban stalls)

[Martincheck]

New Year’s Day. Getting about 24kW good for about 75 mi/h. Quite a few restaurants in easy walking distance.

"Tried it out" at noon today, Sunday, New Year's Day. I was the only vehicle in the building, with 20 charging stations on the top deck, I made a random choice After hooking up to one, noticed a rather slow charging rate. After 15-20 minutes, disconnected and tried another charging station, about the same. It would flick between 69 and 70 mi/hr. Maybe the system is going through a "learning process".

Or maybe they did that on purpose to keep you there long so you have to pay parking fee?

I wonder why it's dragging. . . 70 MPH is the same speed as a 70A Roadster charger. Thanks so much for the update. Hopefully this picks up speed over this week. When I checked my nav on New Years Day, it still wasn't even showing up there. . .

Ha! Srvan1 with the inevitable parking fee conspiracy! That's a good one.

Tesla certainly is not in a conspiracy with the parking structure owner to maximize their revenue for parking charges. Please do not promote ungrounded conspiracy theories.

The parking structure is free and open everyday after 6pm to change, its a great destination charger with access downtown.

Exactly.

 

[Mayo]

Does anyone know if you have to pay for parking or is there some waiver for Tesla SuperCharging.,

That was a joke, relax a little.

I should have put a smiley face so people would know it was a joke, since no one could see other people's facial expression.

Albe above said it is free after 6, some other users said it is also free on non holiday weekends.

I can’t wait for the Moreno Valley location to get underway

Is there really a Moreno Valley location planned?

Last night, Wednesday, my car's display showed the Com system was finally working, with about 10 or 12 cars charging !
This morning it shows 2 cars charging.

The other problem was greatly reduced maximum power, on the order of 30 kW. Has anyone achieved a full 72 kW? To be a good test, your battery level must be low enough. For my 85 kWh pack size, arriving with 40% or less at a regular SC gets me an initial charge rate of about 90 kW for a few minutes if I am not sharing. With a 100 kWh pack, you could arrive with a higher percentage, and with a 75 kWh pack you would need to arrive with a lower percentage.

Try the slot closest to the transformer I got up to 45kwh at 50%soc

S85 at 35% charge. On the stall furthest from the transformer I got 70kw last night.

@ Cheese Guy - How much did you pay for parking or was the fee waived?

 

[Crush]

How much is parking there?

I just spoke with Lorena, the attendant at Mission Square Parking garage and she informed me that it’s currently free to charge for Tesla owners “for now.” She said until she receives further guidance it will remain free. The phone number is 951.684.6214 if you wish to self-verify.

Yes Tesla website shows plans for a MoVal location by the end of this year. Riverside wasn’t suppose to be done until end of 2018 either though...

 

[PLUS EV]

MoVal is one of the worst abbreviations I've seen on this forum and that is really saying something!

 

[WeooooooHuh]

Going to be stopping by here tomorrow on the way back from Running Springs with the family for some snow tubing.. 72kwh if lucky is better then nothing on the way home

I came to test out the charging at night and it's open with no parking attendant. My experience with downtown Riverside parking structures seems to be that unless there is an event going on most of the parking structures are free after hours.
